Black & Decker has released the second generation of its FireStorm high performance cordless drill/drivers with innovative features that boost performance and improve handling.
The line-up includes 18, 14.4 and 12V drill/drivers that offer faster drilling with a new Quick Connect Bit Change system, electronic level, Infinite Clutch, two-position gear box and more torque.
The Quick Connect Bit Change system speeds up drilling, allowing users to drill holes and drive screws without changing accessories and features a removable 3/8in keyless chuck that accepts both round and hex shank drill bits.
To help with straight and level drilling, the FireStorm drills also have an electronic level built into the end of the drill - when the drill is in a level position the LED display lights up, so that rather than having to keep watch of a bubble leveller, the LED indicator can be seen in the users’ peripheral vision, allowing them to stay focused on their work.
Meanwhile the Infinite clutch offers 32 settings selected by a visual reference guide of screw size. Unlike standard clutches with numbers indicating clutch position, the Infinite displays screw icons to indicate the proper setting for driving different sizes of screws.
